Billy Ocean to make waves at Thrasher-Horne in October
ORANGE PARK – Billy Ocean, the award-winning recording artist best known for a string of pop and soul anthems in the 1970s and 1980s, including the Grammy Award-winning “Caribbean Queen (No More Love On The Run),” “When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going” will appear at the Thrasher-Horne Center on Oct. 25 at 7:30 p.m.
Ocean is Britain’s most commercially successful Black artist, having sold more than 30 million records worldwide.
Ocean’s first hit was the 1976 hit single “Love Really Hurts Without You.” In the following year came another UK No. 2, “Red Light Spells Danger.” And there were more hits in the 1980s, including three United States No. 1s: “Caribbean Queen (No More Love On The Run),” “There’ll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry)” and “Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car,” but he is probably best known for “When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going,” which was a hit for Ocean in 1986 and Boyzone 13 years later.
